The Rajbari Bawali

Wedding Destinatio­n

-

If you have dreamt of a destinatio­n wedding at a heritage property steeped in grandeur, you do not have to necessaril­y travel all the way to Rajasthan. An hour’s drive from the city, the Rajbari Bawali heritage resort, could give you all that and more.

Over 250 years old, this palatial neo- classical mansion with its imposing Greek columns, long balconies with louvered shutters and latticed balustrade­s and massive rooms, that once belonged to the illustriou­s Mondal family has been restored to build a luxurious heritage resort. The setting, stunning and steeped in history, is apt for a lavish wedding

Pick Your Spot One of the most striking spots in the property is the pool adjacent to a natural pond. Flanked by a pillared lotus pavilion and quaint gazebos, the pool- side is perfect for prewedding shoots and events such as cocktails and sangeet. The lush lawns in the central courtyard are perfect for setting up the mandap or hosting the reception.

Spoilt For Choice Weddings at the Rajbari Bawali are catered to by their in- house kitchen and catering unit, best known for their superlativ­e Bengali delicacies. Besides, the Rajbari's 30 well- appointed rooms and suites can accommodat­e over a 100 guests. On request, they could also arrange for cultural shows and special activities for guests. Post- wedding Retreat Weddings— the planning, the anxiety, the rituals and the revelry— leave both the hosts and the guests gasping for breath. The bride and the groom are hit the hardest. A fantastic way to rejuvenate is by spending a quiet weekend at the Rajbari. The royal suites with their antique four- poster beds, Venetian mirrors and ornate chandelier­s are apt for a luxurious and romantic stay. Relive the flamboyant ways of the erstwhile zamindars of Bengal, explore the sprawling property and its centuries old history, indulge in a few luxurious therapies at the spa or simply laze by the pond.
